A standoff with a former Marine in Rankin County ended peacefully Monday night, authorities said.

Deputies were called about 7 p.m. Monday to a home in Fairfax Circle near Brandon, in the Belle Grove subdivision, where Anthony Payne was accused of refusing to let a woman and her child leave.

The incident began when the woman called authorities and said that her estranged husband would not let her leave with her child. She managed to call 911, left the line open and hid the phone, authorities said.

When deputies arrived at the scene, Payne threatened to shoot them, Rankin County Undersheriff Raymond Duke said. Payne also claimed to have hidden explosives in his yard, but that turned out not to be true, authorities said.

Eventually Payne let the woman and the child go. They were were not hurt.

A SWAT team arrived at scene and discovered that their commander knew the suspect.

"He is a former Marine, trained in some of the same tactics that we use on our SWAT team, so we're just glad that it ended the way it did," Duke said.

After talking with the suspect, the SWAT team was able to convince him to leave the home. When Payne walked out of the house, he was wearing a bullet proof vest, Duke said.

"He fortunately came back to his senses," Duke said.

Investigators found gas masks and several high-powered and high-capacity weapons in the home.

Payne is being held without bond on kidnapping and domestic violence charges.
